Any news on Scrubs?

Question: Any news on Scrubs? Answer: You mean aside from talk that ABC will almost certainly pick up the show should NBC cancel it? Let's see… Markie Post is returning as Elliott's mom on April 18, and on April 25, one of the world's funniest people, ex-Hot Properties stitch Nicole Sullivan, pops in as a former patient of J.D.'s. BTW, the fantasy bit last week in which J.D. visited that pound for stray Grandpas? One of the funniest things I've seen — ever.

Thanks.Answer: I'll answer this for you, Shane, even though you ignored my usual rule about telling me what's at stake in your bet. (Take a look at Denice, above, playing Gallant to your Goofus.) The good news is you're right. Colt Seavers (Lee Majors), Howie Munson (Douglas Barr) and Jody Banks (Heather Thomas) took their bounty-hunter marching orders from a succession of folks, including Big Jack (Jo Ann Pflug), Terri Shannon (Post), whose character's last name became Michaels later in the show, and Pearl Sperling (Nedra Volz).
